Weekend with an only child

     This past weekend it was a rare and very quiet weekend for the Apedaile6. John was working out of town, Lindsay and Courtney were at a student event for the church all weekend. So that meant it was just JT and I. I can't recall the last time I've had Mommy duty for just one child besides when it was just Sarah way back when. JT and I managed to have a fun weekend despite not having half of our family home.

JT and I heading out to a friend's birthday party.

One of JT's favorite activities at the party. 

Going fishing!

JT's big catch!

There was a cookie decorating station at the party. JT piled on the chocolate frosting and sprinkles.

Eating a birthday cookie pop- yum!

There was also a photo booth to take silly photos. JT had fun goofing off with what he called the Magician's Hat.

Peek -A-Boo!

"Hey Mommy, where did I go?" He did this over and over for several minutes. It cracked himself up.

Most of the children at the party. The birthday girl, Ella, is in the black and white outfit. 

JT picked out a few things for me to use as props and we got a photo together.

Later that evening, we ventured out for some shopping. JT LOVES shopping! A boy after his Mom's heart, clearly. We ended our shopping with some fine dining at Sam's club. JT devoured this large piece of pizza.

Before getting Lindsay and Courtney from their fun weekend, JT and I went to church Sunday morning. We sent this photo to John who was working hard in Pennsylvania to send our love to him. Though JT and I had a wonderful time spending time together and playing, it was nice to get his sisters back Sunday and then John back mid week. It's back to business as usual at the Apedaile6 house.
